Made by Christ Maltby, GB Studio is an open source drag-and-drop game engine for making Game Boy games that are playable on real hardware.
Whether you love retro gaming, or just want an easy and fun way to start developing games, GB Studio is great for beginners and hobbyists.
The first step is often the hardest. Watch some of my videos about making GB Studio games or play some of my games on itch.io for inspiration!
Download GB Studio and support the creator on itch.io. I have found the software to run very well on slightly older devices, perfect if this is your first try at game development.
Familiarise yourself with how GB Studio works by reading the documentation. It has all the basics you'll need to get started in developing your first game.
Subscribe to my YouTube channel to keep up to date with new tutorials and game releases. I have a large backlog of videos about all aspects of GB Studio game development.
There is a thriving community of games and developers over on itch.io! By searching "made in GB Studio" you will find a wealth of inspiration to show you what's possible in GB Studio.
If you like what I do, consider supporting me on Patreon! There are multiple tiers with different rewards, from wallpapers to video calls. My goal is to keep making games and tutorials.
